Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 11, 2005 - Opened about 6pm and recorked... went to dinner.. came back and poured first glass about 8pm. when i opened it the first time the nose was wafting out of the bottle and you could smell it a foot away!!! after dinner the nose had some of the more aggressiveness toned down, but was full of fruit, spice and menthol. Very dark, although i remember the 98 being darker. smooth. a tad hint of vanilla, some mint/menthol hiding in the dark fruit. we enjoyed it over the course of 2.5 hours and finished off the last glass the next night, the spice was more integrated with the fruit and there was less vanilla and more cinnamon... significant sediment at the end, so be careful eeking out that last glass. loved it. glad i have more as it has plenty of time ahead of it.
